Per the IRS IVES, year 2020 IRS 1040 tax transcript data is expected to be available the week of February 22, 2021.

Jan 26, 2020

Any 4506T/C request submitted prior to the availability of IRS 2020 tax transcript data will result in a “No Record” on file from the IRS. A subsequent transcript request will be required at a future date for results.

  • If a taxpayer files electronically, allow 3-4 weeks after the return submission before requesting a 2020 tax transcript.

  • If a taxpayer filed by mail, allow 6-8 weeks after the return was mailed before requesting a YR 2020 transcript.

The IRS has not communicated the availability date for YR 2020 1099 and W2 data.


 Please note : The IRS will only accept the 4506-C for IRS tax transcript requests effective May 1, 2021 (rev 2/23/2021).
